Recently, we often hear the word “amenity”. The amenity effects of plants on human being is called “green amenity”. The authors recognize the importance of “green amenity” and are making a series of studies on “green amenity”.
The green amenity effects can be divided into perceptible effect, environmental control effect and image effect (Fig. 1).
In this paper, the authors focused on the environmental control effect by plants, and made simulation of inside environment of two types of office rooms; the one has plants in it and the other has no plants.
The authors assumed simulation model shown in Fig. 2 and Table 1, and made simulation according to the flow chart shown in Fig. 3. The plant in the room was tomato plant, and its relationship between light intensity and stomatal resistance is shown in Fig. 4.
The result of simulation on the standard sunny day in December is shown in Fig. 5, indicating that the inside air temperature with plants is lower than that without plants in the daytime and that the maximum temperature difference is 2.6°C.Figure 6 shows that the maximum temperature difference on the standard sunny day in July is 2.7°C.
